Welcome

Organisation pro Software Escrow e.V.

What OSE stands for

The Organisation pro Software Escrow – OSE for short – is an association of companies and individuals who use or provide services and consulting in the area of source code escrow. The association was founded in Munich in 2005 with the aim of pooling expertise in this area and sensitising the IT industry to the topic of escrow. Since then, OSE has been explaining the basics of source code escrow, providing information on escrow concepts with a view to new technologies and developing quality standards.

With its symposia, the association makes an active contribution to the discussion on appropriate legal framework conditions for software escrow in Germany and actively contributes to the creation of binding legal certainty.
